It's time for an after party!

[perpend]

[About an hour after the trial and subsequent execution, Cabanela makes a decision.

They need to do something, keep the morale up, however little it may be.

Under each occupied room door people will find the following note written:


In difficult times such as this, it is important to carry on.
Don't give into despair; we must preservere.
If you don't want to be alone this evening, meet me in the dining hall.
-Cabanela

[Upon entering the dinning hall, you will find Cabanela sitting at one of the tables; he has lit two candles that are placed at the center of the table, but there's nothing else to note.

You'll have to supply your own food, since he doesn't have much of an appetite.]

[ Jean feels pretty fucking numb. It's not a good feeling, but it is what it is and he's not sure what else to do with it.

But he sees Chie and a thought springs to mind. He approaches her without pausing to reconsider - because, really, what else is there to do at this point? ]

Hey, Chie. [ He glances at the mask, but doesn't ask about it right away. ] That pickaxe you got from the vending machine. What did you do with it?

[shuttermouse]

It's in my room. I can't use it, and as long as it's in there nobody else can either.

[ Well, that pretty much answers his next question before he asks it, but just in case... ]

If you and someone else are watching me, and I give it right back, can I borrow it?

[shuttermouse]

[ Chie considers this for a moment before she responds. ]

Yeah, you can.

[openterrain]

[ That's unexpected, and it has Jean, very briefly, smiling in gratitude. ] Ah-- thanks!

[ His smile fades as he takes a seat next to Chie. ] After-- that, I might go crazy just sitting around.
